Netting in Magazines - Godey's Lady's Book (1870-1898)


I was going to group the remaining netting entries which I found in Godey's Lady's Book by decades: 1870-1879, 1880-1889, and 1890-1898.  The only problem with that was that the years from 1881 to 1898 (when the magazine ended publication) either had no articles on netting or I could not find them digitized and posted on-line.

Here are the volumes I could not locate on-line:  Volumes 102 (1881), 103 (1881), 104 (1882), 105 (1882), 106 (1883), 108 (1884), 109 (1884), 110 (1885), 111 (1885), 112 (1886), 113 (1886), 114 (1887), 115 (1887), 121 (1890), 122 (1891), 123 (1891), 124 (1892), 126 (1893), 127 (1893), 131 (1895).

I've been experimenting with some simple netting patterns.  They are mostly in plain netting, or increase and decrease stitches.  I finally finished the dishcloths.  My husband has large hands and he wanted a big dishcloth, while I have smaller hands and so needed a smaller one.  Here are the ones I've finished.

Three of them are large, three are medium size, and three are a small size that would work for a child.  The patterns for them will be included in my upcoming basic netting book, The Lost Art of Netting.
